Energy Project Attracts National Attention, Awards

By Ben Boulden

As it nears completion in December, the $150 million UAMS energy project already is producing cost savings and garnering national praise.

It also helped earn an invitation for Ian Hadden, executive director of UAMS Engineering and Operations, to participate in a panel discussion about the project and others at the VITAL 2022 conference earlier this summer in Boston.

A nonprofit association of hospitals and health systems dedicated to high-quality care for all, including the most vulnerable patient populations, American’s Essential Hospitals organized the conference.
